Harinder Sikka, author of the book Calling Agreed, has accused director Meghna Gulzar. Alia Bhatt starrer film Raazi directed by Meghna is based on Harinder Sikka’s book itself.

Since the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, the debate of nepotism and outsiders has intensified in the industry. This debate has gained further momentum after Kangana Ranaut’s latest interview. Many stars have praised Kangana’s courage, there are many people associated with the same industry who are coming forward due to the dispute with them. Harinder Sikka, author of the book Calling Agreed, has also accused director Meghna Gulzar.

Alia Bhatt starrer film Raazi directed by Meghna is based on Sikka ‘s book itself. Sikka recently said in an interview that Meghna Gulzar has not given her credit on many platforms. Harinder has accused Meghna that he removed her name from the Jaipur Literature Festival. He also alleged that Meghna had not allowed his book to be launched. According to Sikka, the reason for the delay in launching his book is due to Meghna , due to which Meghna got all the credit of the film.

‘Whatever happened to me, the reason is that I am an outsider’

He also told that he was to be conferred with the Best Original Story at the Filmfare Awards show, although later this award went to the film Andhadhun. According to the coin, Andhadhun is a copy of a French book. He also said that Meghna has stolen the credits of a Delhi lawyer in his recent film Chhapak . Harinder said that whatever happened to him, it is because he is an outsider.

Earlier in an interview, Harinder accused Meghna that he did not invite Sikka to Raji’s special screening. He said that ‘I had promised Gulzar saheb that I would approach Meghna for the director. I had asked Alia Bhatt to be the lead actor. But I also raised questions on the screenplay of this film. I was not even invited for the pre-release screening of this film. I knew about this event after the release of the film. Agreed had a depression but the film’s ending was kept very different, which also changed the fabric of the story.
